Physicist Engineer Diploma (1993-1998)
This page presents the program I have followed to qualify for the physicist engineer diploma of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. It comprises 8 semesters, which ideally mix theoretical and practical parts, and one semester fully devoted to a practical diploma work.

Followed courses for the physics diploma
The descriptions proposed hereafter are extracted from the 2003 courses booklet from the physics section. Compared to the courses followed during the years 1993-1998, it may appear some discrepencies in the course designation and contents. The courses selection presented here for the semesters 7 and 8 corresponds to a personnal choice, as the physics section do not impose any course.
